Err, sorry to contradict you, but to quote from Sun's documentation of the Properties class:
"This format uses the ISO 8859-1 character encoding. Characters that cannot be directly represented in this encoding can be written using Unicode escapes..." Absolutely no mention of this ASCII restriction at all. I always found this restriction somewhat absurd, and was forced to write my own version of the properties class that could accept more useful encodings for its load/save methods.
